-Title: CADRE Demo [Cooperative Autonomous Distributed Robotic Exploration]
Models for https://github.com/space-ros/demos/pull/66
Package Description and Purpose
This package simulates NASA’s CADRE mission, which focuses on mapping the Moon through a trio of autonomous rovers. The simulation is developed using ROS 2 and is part of NASA's lunar exploration initiative for Spring 2026.
Lunar Landscape Design: Created a realistic lunar environment in Blender based on publicly available NASA Moon images.
CAD Model Development: Designed the CADRE rover model in SolidWorks and converted it into URDF format for ROS 2 Humble compatibility.
Simulation & Integration: Integrated the rover with IMU, LRF, and RGB-D sensors for lunar terrain mapping and exploration in Gazebo.
Teleoperation & Control: Built a Python-based GUI for rover teleoperation, featuring camera visualization and real-time control.
Cross-Platform Compatibility: Ensured simulation compatibility across WSL and VMware Linux for flexible development.
The README file for the CADRE package offers comprehensive information about the model and Gazebo plugins, as well as step-by-step instructions for building and running the simulation.
